Review # 1 was written on 2019-10-24 00:00:00 Darren Hubbard The information about the inventors and inventions is excellent. The poems are often stilted and awkward.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-04-12 00:00:00 Mike Sanders Neat book alphabet book that has an invention for each letter. The one I liked best was Oil because it told how Elijah McCoy, an African-American inventor, made the oil can and lubricating oil for trains so that they wouldn't have to stop to lubricate. His oil was so good people insisted on using his original product and no substitute. When people bought oil they asked "Is this the real McCoy?" Now you and I both know where that expression comes from.
